Devil in the Making: The Devil DeVere

Every devil has a beginning... In this first of three prequels to the award-winning Devil DeVere series, we meet Ludovic, Ned, and Simon as youths in this riotous Georgian romp written in the tradition of Fielding's Tom Jones. Since their first meeting at Westminster, Ned, Simon, and DeVere had forged an iron-clad bond that had maintained them through nearly six years. From the outset, Ludovic's scandalous family secrets had set him apart from the other aristocratic scions as an "untouchable." Deny it as he tried, the ugly truth remained that his mother was indeed the biggest whore in England, and his presumed father, the viscount, no less than a pox-ridden madman.

This second prequel to the award-winning Devil DeVere series is a comedic romp featuring aspiring poet, Simon "Sin" Singleton, the hero of Jewel of the East.

Ok novella by terrible Narrator

Yes I will try another of Victoria Vane's book But not one narrated by Guy Veryzer.

A Wild Night's Bride: The Devil DeVere, Book 1

With the devil in charge, there will surely be hell to pay...What happens when a struggling actress and a grieving widower come together in a night of unbridled debauchery orchestrated by a bored and machinating rake?

WAIT! THIS CAN'T BE BOOK ONE!

Without spoiling too much beyond what you could already glean from the summaries.......

Book 1 is driven by the fact that Ned is alone again ..Show More »since Annalee had died three years earlier.... It is Ned's love story.... NOT with Annalee but with phoebe! DeVere is the catalyst and is still his debauched self and single.... very!

Book 3 is DeVere's story... in which Ned and Annalee, not Phoebe!!, are the driving catalyst. This is too backwards for even me, a most tolerable reader/listener who forgives much.

Without spending more time picking it apart I have to say that within the first 20 minutes I discovered numerous other major time line errors and story conflicts.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ALL THIS? It's ridiculous. And since this one is DeVere's story I can't even suggest you read them in another order.

Shame on you Ms. Vane, shouldn't you know your own books well enough to keep the characters in a logical storyline? You screwed up big-time here! Or did different authors write these books without consulting one another???

So.... shall I review this for what it is on its own? Since I've had my rant I guess I should go listen to the rest of it.

The Virgin Huntress: The Devil DeVere, Book 2

Lady Vesta Chambers is accustomed to getting what she wants...and what she wants is Captain Hewett DeVere.... Vesta accompanies her godmother, Diana, to town where she is smitten the moment she lays eyes on a certain captain of the 17th Light Dragoons. But when the handsome and straight-laced captain turns his eyes toward the widowed Diana, Vesta is prepared to take devilish measures to prove to Hew that she is no longer a little girl, but a woman with the passion of...a huntress.

The Devil You Know: The Devil DeVere, Book 3

Sometimes the devil is disguised as a gentleman... In this third installment of the award-winning Devil DeVere series, DeVere is finally center stage when Ned, Annalee, and her cousin, Diana arrive at DeVere’s estate for a weekend of horseracing. From the first meeting, DeVere makes his interest in Diana acutely known. Although she sees no harm in a light flirtation, she doesn’t intend to become another notch on his bedpost. Nevertheless, DeVere fascinates her.

Well it was short - but boy did it pack a lot in

Although this says Book 4 don't be put off as this is actually the 1st book of Diana and Devere's story the previous books were about other people...Show More »/>Diana has nothing left to lose so wants to feel passion just once in her life before her life is ruined and Devere is all too willing to help her out - but not just once. There's passion, treachery, murder, blackmail, various likeable characters, a handsome rake and a real bitch together with some 'hot' encounters.

This book finishes abruptly but continues their story in The Devil's Match which has just been added.

Worth a credit? Well, if it's $10.?? or under then I just buy it (and save my credits for a more expensive listen) but these 2 books are on sale so at $7.77 they're a bargain and I'm happily off to download the second instalment. As for using a credit on each - I think it's a bit cheeky breaking the story up like this so if they'd been just one book then I'd have happily used the credit on a worthy listen - but using 2 credits on such short stories just doesn't seem right.

The Devil's Match: The Devil DeVere

In this fourth installment of the award-winning Devil DeVere series, Diana has come to London as her goddaughter's chaperone. Wanting to avoid her erstwhile lover at all costs, she nevertheless has no choice but to appeal to DeVere for help when Vesta mysteriously disappears. Although once nearly consumed by her passion for DeVere, four years has reduced the former inferno to bitterness and ashes. Ludovic's time abroad has only served to deepen his debauchery. He's become jaded, world-weary, and bored. He also recognizes with self-annoyance that the marks of his discontent have only increased upon a certain person's arrival in London. When Diana makes her appearance in his den of iniquity in all of her glorious self-righteous fury, he suddenly feels alive again.

A GEORGIAN ELEGANT DECADENT & TOUCHING LOVE STORY

This is the follow-on book to The Devil You Know about Diana and DeVere's tempestuous hot hot hot love affair - definately not a stand-alone listen...Show More »r/>In the first book I had every sympathy with DeVere as he was so painfully manipulated into the sad direction his life took. However, in the beginning of this second book, I didn't like the jaded, opium smoking, debauched rake he had become - that is until he meets Diana again and realises there's just no way of getting over her and we finally (and happily) see the ice around his heart slowly starts to melt.

The plot had lots of twists as the two embark in a battle of wits as the sexual fire they have for each other cannot be put out - but eventually Diana, who has learnt some new sexual massage tricks by an ex Harem woman, turns the tables on DeVere as she becomes the knowledgeable lover (....... or so she thinks). We learn that underneath all his bravado DeVere is just a hurt, misunderstood, passionate, damaged person who is so thoughtful and kind to the people he cares for and his heart is breaking for hers.

Worth a credit? A loveable cast of characters and clever writing makes this (and it's predecessor) an addictive listen that's short yes but it's filled with romantic, touching, passionate, hot hot hot hours and a worthy $10.46 listen (as so many of these short, often overlooked, stories are) but I wish VV had made these 2 books into 1 much longer listen.

A Devil's Touch: The Devil DeVere

In her last month of pregnancy, Diana, Viscountess DeVere, has barely settled into her new life and role as "the devil" DeVere's wife, when her increasingly restlesss husband receives an urgent summons to London. When Diana inadvertently discovers a message he received from a known courtesan with whom he was formerly linked, she fears her marriage is over before it has begun.

What?

There's not much to this one... except that it sets up the next which is Simon and Salimes story. It's like an afterthought to make up for the myriad ..Show More »of order and editor errors that abound in this series! Sad to say it isn't much of a story... it brings the doubts in Diana and DeVeres relationship to its climax (double intendre intended). That's it... those 2 things ordered and tada it's done! THE EPILOGUE FROM THE PREVIOUS BOOK BELONGS TO THIS 'BOOK'!

CREDITWORTHY? Pay for it if you must, it costs less than a credit.

HEAT FACTOR: Sexually explicit... with a pregnant Diana and rather talented DeVere...
